Our Leadership Team

Ken London, President

Few people can claim that they started a company upon graduating from college that they built to $28 Million dollars in revenue. After doing just this, Ken London turned his passion for marketing, people and business to the Construction industry. Along with his brother Jonathan, Kenneth purchased a small maintenance company that became Workright Property Services in 2001.

Today, Ken and Jonathan have grown Workright into a mid-size construction company and Plumbing Contractor servicing Southern California. Workright offers the full range of tenant improvement and contracting services, and has gained distinction for its accomplishments with apartment renovations. With nearly two decades of construction knowledge, Ken continues to apply his passion for real estate investing to understand his client’s needs and expand Workright’s offerings to meet them.

Ken holds a degree from University of Arizona. Ken spends his free time with his wife and two kids as well as mountain biking, skiing, and playing tennis.

Jonathan London, CFO/COO

Jonathan brings years of financial experience to his oversight of Workright’s operations. His career began in banking in Texas, where he was an auditor and accountant before moving to New York, where he was an Executive Vice President in the family clothing business. During this time, he partnered with his brother Ken to build one of the nation’s largest apartment relocation businesses. Following other pursuits including a number of jointly-owned properties, Jonathan and Ken joined forces to create Workright Construction. Today, he manages daily operations and financing for the company, which has renovated thousands of apartments and condos to date, and contributes to the ongoing growth of Workright’s distinguished client base. In his spare time, Jonathan loves to golf, ski, hike and travel with his son.

Mark Thompson, Director of Plumbing (Licensed Plumber)

Mark has over 35 years experience with all aspects of plumbing, which enables him to lead our large plumbing team. Having grown up with a father who was a General Contractor, Mark understands the construction trades well, and has extensive experience with new construction, to service and repair. A Journeyman level Plumber early in his career, Mark then ran crews and operated his own plumbing company. His skills as a plumber are only exceeded by his ability to manage people and projects. He has served as Workright’s Director of Plumbing and a member of the Leadership Team for nearly a decade.

Todd Shafer, Senior Vice President

Although today he has over 30 years of experience and holds three distinct licenses (Electrical, Plumbing and General), Todd’s career first began with his work as an electrician, wiring new houses. In 1990, he became Maintenance Director for Sunrise Management Company. Todd partnered with the London Brothers in 2001 when they purchased their maintenance company, to form Workright Property Services. Todd, a founder of Workright, has used his deep construction knowledge to estimate, plan, and manage many of Workright’s largest projects over the last 16 years. When he’s not working, Todd enjoys riding his Harley Davidson, desert camping, and spending time with his family, especially his new granddaughter.

David Miller, Director of Construction & Sr. Project Manager

Dave started in the construction business in 1997, when he worked in the trades for a fire/flood remediation firm. His career then led him to become a framing apprentice for a new home contractor, followed by work with rental properties. During this time and these varied experiences, Dave became proficient at many trades. He joined Workright in 2002 as a technician and quickly rose up the management ranks to Project Manager in 2004. Today, Dave is our Director of Construction and Senior Project Manager. He has deftly overseen all aspects of some of Workright’s largest and most complicated commercial, residential, and multi-family projects. Dave has been estimating projects for over 15 years and has also managed many of Workright’s multi million dollar projects, including those for large national Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs).

Laura Harper, Office Manager

A member of the Workright team since 2008, Laura provides daily office oversight, including management of the accounting team. Prior to joining Workright, Laura worked with the London brothers for almost a decade in their real estate rental business.
